Discussion of Work Package 6.3 Other Graphical Content
------------------------------------------------------
The TC discussed the suggestion made by Michael Brauer in 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200306/msg00014.html:
- The TC unanimously agreed to add the SVG gradient specification to the 
Open Office XML format as suggested in proposal a) of that mail.
- The TC discussed whether the <draw:transparency> element should be 
renamed to <draw:opacity>. A decision depends on whether the terms 
“transparency” and “opacity” are used elsewhere in the specification. 
Michael Brauer will clarify this.
- The TC unanimously agreed to move further discussions and extension of 
gradients to the 2nd TC phase, and to contact the SVG working group to 
coordinate such gradient extensions.
